We need probably sooner or later better instructions for dealing with LLM assisted patches.

E.g., what to do if the fix itself is alright but commit messages have a continuous trend of being quite bad. I.e. you clearly can observe the patch being pure LLM dump but possibly still a legit fix for critical bug.

This quite defacto dilemma situation. At least for me. We need a more detailed guide on LLMs.

I don't this was the purpose of a patch being LLM assisted because there is zero involvement by the so called author. It's also a risk for kernel because author's own sanity check is our first layer of protection against malicious changes. I make mistakes too and it is now only up to me to explain the patch to myself and acking based on that, making me in a way both reviewer and the actual virtual author in a way.
